I recently had to do clean reinstall of Win 10, since then I can log into GMail via the Web but cannot gain entry via Thunderbird. I have checked and set all the imap settings, password, acct details and everything else I could see but still cannot gain entry to Gmail.
This occurs on both my gmail accounts with an error message saying that "configuration could not be verified -- is the Username or Password wrong" but all is correct. I have 1 other email acct that is not GMail and it goes thru flawlessly. Any help appreciated.

I'm using Firefox Quantum 50.0.1 (64 bit) on Linux Mint. I've checked everything I can find about inhibited bookmarks but nothing seems to work.
I can bookmark most pages, though not all. My two biggest problems are Google searches and youtube. Neither will they appear in my browsing history. I don't recall if there have been others, but I think that there have been a couple.
I've tried opining in safe mode with the same results.
everything else seems to work fine.

I can't say exactly when this started. I've reinstalled Linux 4 times and the only add-ons I've installed were Adblock PLus and Block site. Neither one worked well enough so I removed them both.

I do a lot of searches and it's time consuming to save them in a text file each time for continuing work.

Two noticeable problems reared their heads in the last few months and I wonder whether the developers of firefox are dealing with them. 1. Google animations on www.google.com are eating up gpu memory. This demand is higher than my machines can deal with and that page freezes! This has happened with two different episodes of google produced content. Chrome, Edge, and Internet Explorer handled these sites well, but Firefox required me to turn off hardware acceleration. The aforementioned browsers use hardware acceleration and do not have the negative affect that I experienced with Firefox. 2. Fandango videos appear black, no picture just audio.

So should I be required to augment my computer for normal surfing by adding external video cards or switch to another browser when wishing to see videos on certain sites or might Firefox focus on providing delivery of content consistent with the demands being placed on it. My machines are Dells with Windows 10, 1709 and on-board video cards... I-5 and I-7 processors and 8-12 gigs of ram. I think that normal surfing and use of a very popular search engine should be managed well with Firefox; as well as the others seem to do... Were all browsers to have similar freezing problems or video playback problems, I would take issue with the content providers. But, alas it seems that in the two instances above, Firefox needs a little tweaking. This is not an indictment, just wondering with the switch from flash to html 5 happening in the next few years, whether interim problems should be allowed to plague basic usage.

After I open an email and/or reply to it, the alert stays on at lower right. I read a great many emails every day at work and having to turn off the alert manually wastes time. How can I set the alert to go off when I've read a new email?

Firefox for Android seems to have updated for me. Now all my tabs are in one continuous line. As someone who has a lot of tabs open at any given time this isn't useful. It used to look more like the Top Sites section. Is there a wau to change it back?

Suddenly can't open PDF files online. No problem opening ones I have downloaded.
Get a blank screen and then an ENU error.
Running Windows XP. Must always ask Firefox to activate Adobe every time I want to open a file, but that is not the issue, as no problem with that in past.

I cannot send emails, I cannot access the account settings, when I try to access the server account settings, I keep get error message about account already existing, select another account, I don't have another account!
here are the error messages=
An error occurred while sending mail: The mail server sent an incorrect greeting: impout003 charter.net MzUuMTMyLjE0MC4yNTM= You must connect from Charter IP space. E1110.

An error occurred while sending mail: The mail server sent an incorrect greeting: impout002 charter.netMzUuMTMyLjE0MC4yNTM= You must connect from Charter IP space. E1110.

Sending of password for user sheilach2 did not succeed. Mail server pop.charter.net responded invalid user name or password.

An error occurred while sending mail: The mail server sent an incorrect greeting: impout005 charter.netMzUuMTMyLjE0MC4yNTM= You must connect from Charter IP space. E1110.

I have been fighting this for HOURS! I cannot access the account setting, I cannot send Emails.

Will I have to delete the Thunderbird program. reinstall & re do ALL the server settings?
Is this even fixable?

As of today, 2/16/2018, my Thunderbird is downloading ALL OLD emails from the AOL server. It is a POP account.
Before this today, 2/16, it just downloaded NEW emails. I didn't change anything overnight. This account was migrated from Verizon about 14 months ago. There are 76,000 old emails on the AOL server, so I would have over a year of duplicated emails on
my machine with Thunderbird. The computer is running windows Vista.

I've compacted the inbox file.

How do I get Thunderbird to automatically download only new emails when I open it like it was doing yesterday?
Thanks, Ken Barta

I have tried 2 new computers now and both of them can't seem to get me over this hump. Even Geek Squad couldn't solve it. I LOVE Thunderbird, but in my new PC I can't read the message titles...they are sooooo small. I've tried everything I could find on the web and I have installed the new Theme Font and Size Changer that doesn't expire. None of those things have helped me. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me resolve this. I do NOT want to give up Thunderbird.

I'm not sure how but I've lost all my Firefox passwords on my PC. I sync with my iPhone's Firefox and they are all still there (thankfully). Syncing is not restoring the passwords on my PC. I also do not have an 'old Firefox" folder on my desktop. Both browsers are properly logged in for syncing. Any suggestions for fixes?

I go to my credit card web account, and I type in my login name and my password, and Firefox refuses to save it. I can save it with any other login -- "Would you like Firefox to save this login for xxx.com?" In fact, my wife can save her login on her account with the same credit card website. That particular website is not listed as an "exception" in my security preferences (in fact, I have no exceptions listed). What's going on?

For no reason, a few days ago I suddenly started having a problem with the message "A website is slowing down your browser. What would you like to do?" I tried everything suggested on any site which Google listed for this issue.

The page: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1138132 mentioned something about Adobe Flash. That solution didn't work but it did prompt me to check my Firefox plugins. Once it I did, I saw that it said that the Shockwave Flash plugin (ver 27.0.r0) was out of date since it posed a security issue. I installed the latest Shockwave Flash (28.0.r0) and the Firefox messages stopped appearing (and YouTube seems to be running faster than ever). Problem solved me at least.

If anyone else is having this problem, you might want to check out your Adobe Flash plug-in to see if its out of date.

Btw, Mozilla has it set up so that a thread can only be replied to if you're registered with Mozilla support (which is understandable)......but the ONLY way they will let you register with them is by first posting a question. Duhhh -- that makes NO sense So Mozilla, what if you aren't registered but you DO have a solution to other people's questions (such as my case)?
